Smear satisfaction across your

chops by substituting your local

kebab shop’s slippery scraps for

A-grade ribeye. This juicy cut has

just enough tenderness to satisfy

cravings – along with a solid hit of

protein – but grilling it melts down

the fat content, so you pack on

muscle, not flab. You also get to

savour some serious flavour from the

mint, parsley and sesame seeds,

which tackle any post-squat

inflammation. Sidestepping the

greasy sauce for a pomegranate

relish, rich in heart-protecting

antioxidants, this is one treat you can

devour without the morning-after

guilt. Meanwhile, the energy-dense

quinoa and pitta neatly wrap up your

gains. A nd you’ll onl y have to wash

your hands once afterwards.
